We just use a simple trick here. Reverse the sentence and you will see how easy it is toget the right answer. "I am better than he." Definitely not, "Me am better than he."

"He's better than me" is perfectly acceptable English usage/ Example: "He is better than me at remembering things."

"I am" is extraneous. "I" is hypercorrection.

As my English-teacher mom would have said, mockingly: "He's better than me am?"
